Embroidery business opens in Morenci 2012.11.21

Written by David Green.

AmJam Designs was created just last month when it appeared as a website, but not too much time passed before the business was established in Morenci’s downtown.

Brandon and Amy Milliman opened the business at 125 W. Main St. earlier this month with the major focus on company logo apparel. The couple has an industrial embroidery machine capable of replicating logos, school mascots or most any other design.

School-related items are the biggest draw currently, Amy said.

“We can handle varsity jackets, put a bulldog on a duffle bag or T-shirt,” she said.

Brandon is in the store every day while Amy works in another job, but when someone wants AmJam to design a logo, that’s when Amy takes her part in the business.

Brandon has about 10 years experience in the embroidery business, working first with a colleague and later on his own.

AmJam also does heat-pressed vinyl lettering on clothing and for signs.

The Millimans live in Fremont, Ind., but they have purchased a house in Morenci and intend to work on it over the winter and move here in the spring.

AmJam is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number is 458-1300.
